And a lot of equipment not used anymore, e.g. ATV.
My QTH has good take off from south to north west directions. North east is worst because of 100 m higher hill in 1 km distance. Below you can see the radio horizon calculated with DL2ALF’s Airscout software:
My QTH and equipment is good enough for 400km range in SSB and 800km in FT8 on 2m band with normal tropospheric propagation conditions.
